Trump Admin Hands Bill Gates’ GAVI Vaccine Syndicate $600 Million

The U.S. Department of State and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services last month revealed they “will immediately release all $600 million in Congressionally appropriated funds” for Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, Bill Gates’ international vaccine syndicate, according to a State Department press release.

In June 2025, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. had withdrawn American funding from Gavi, citing child deaths linked to the vaccines the organization dispenses worldwide.

But one year later, Secretary of ​State Marco Rubio promised that the United States would “re-engage” with Gavi, citing a purported Ebola outbreak as justification.

The new State Department press release emphasizes President Donald Trump gave the directive himself.

Per the release:

“Last year, President Trump directed Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Secretary of State Marco Rubio to engage directly with Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance (Gavi), and secure meaningful reforms before the United States would consider future support. Those discussions resulted in significant commitments that strengthen vaccine safety, improve public health, and better align Gavi’s work with the principles of Gold Standard Science and transparency. Based on those commitments, the United States will immediately release all $600 million in Congressionally appropriated funds to Gavi for both FY25 and FY26.”

The agreement included “reducing reliance on mercury-containing vaccines, where suitable alternatives are available.”

The release didn’t specify which alternatives would be used nor cite any relevant safety studies.

But it did confirm vaccine manufacturers would benefit:

“Achieving these transitions will require manufacturers to expand production capacity, countries to adopt newer vaccine formulations, and Gavi’s governing Board to complete the necessary approvals. The United States recognizes these implementation challenges but welcomes Gavi’s commitment to work toward these goals through transparent governance and responsible stewardship.”

The Trump admin ultimately wants to “resume its place on the Gavi Board”:

“In addition, given the sizeable contribution the United States is making to improve access to vaccines, the United States expects to resume its place on the Gavi Board. In this role, the United States will continue to hold Gavi accountable for measurable progress toward these commitments. It will evaluate any future U.S. support based on demonstrated performance, accountability, and implementation of these reforms.”

Tech Evangelist Bill Gates Suddenly Argues AI Needs to Slow Down to Protect Humanity

Bill Gates, the Microsoft co-founder and leftist billionaire who has spent years predicting that AI would free people from drudgery and speed cures for disease and climate change, published an essay Wednesday warning that without urgent government intervention, AI could cause more harm than good.

Bill Gates, who transformed himself from a software tycoon into a leftist icon of environmentalism and health philanthropy,  has now published an essay calling for an AI slowdown. This is a massive shift is a shift for a tech evangelist who has built his post-Microsoft career on faith in AI’s ability to fix hard problems. Gates said this is the first time in his life he wishes a new technology would advance more slowly.

“I’m surprised to feel this way,” Gates said. “I’ve never seen a problem that innovation can’t solve.”

Gates grouped his worries into three categories: safety threats such as AI-enabled hacking, biological weapons and fraud; job losses driven by AI and AI-powered robots; and risks to children, including stunted learning and damaged human relationships. Writing software code and enabling new kinds of cyberattacks are the two areas where he says AI has recently outpaced his own expectations. Asked about the latter, he used one word: “mind-blowing.”

Gates argued the AI industry cannot police itself and called on the U.S. government to take the lead in regulating it. He wants broad national and international frameworks to address AI’s risks to security, safety, jobs and other areas, built around collaboration between elected officials, subject-matter experts and ordinary citizens. The idea echoes a proposal from AI leader Demis Hassabis, who has called for international AI safety standards overseen by an expert body.

“My basic view is nobody’s shown up,” Gates said of the lack of government action so far. “So this is a shrill call, and I want this to be bipartisan.”

The Backstory on Bill Gates’ Secret ‘Q’ Clearance Is Revealed — And It Is Chilling

The mystery surrounding Bill Gates’ extraordinary access to some of the federal government’s most sensitive information is a bone-chilling look at how America’s elites are corrupting our government.

And the latest trail leads through nuclear research, the Pentagon, DARPA — and, strangely enough, Jeffrey Epstein.

It all began when Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) dropped a massive batch of government records last month, revealing, among other things, that Gates possessed a Department of Energy “Q” security clearance for more than seven years.

DOE describes Q access authorization as comparable to a Department of Defense Top Secret clearance. Depending on an individual’s need to know, it can permit access to highly sensitive Restricted Data involving nuclear programs.

Gates’ authorization was “reciprocally granted” on June 11, 2014, and terminated on December 6, 2021, according to the DOE letter released by Paul. In other words, DOE recognized an existing clearance granted through another federal agency rather than starting from scratch.

Which agency? DOE didn’t publicly say.

But investigator Sayer Ji, who is the Senior Adviser to MAHA Action, has assembled a timeline that provides a potentially important piece of the puzzle — and Paul himself is drawing attention to it.

“Fantastic explainer here,” Paul wrote. “Gates, a private citizen, had ‘Q’ level clearance, which is equal to a Department of Defense Top Secret clearance and is required to handle sensitive nuclear weapons data and Restricted Data. Was this for DARPA? And why? This was long before COVID-19.”

Bill Gates Held A Top Secret ‘Q’ Clearance For Seven Years – And The DOE Won’t Say Why

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates held a top-tier “Q” security clearance at the Department of Energy from 2014 to 2021 – though the DOE didn’t grant it. Another federal agency vetted him first, and the letter confirming the clearance doesn’t say which one.

The detail comes from a DOE letter entered into the Congressional record by Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY). The letter emerged as Fauci faced fierce Republican blowback during his Senate hearing last week, where the longtime face of COVID policy pleaded the Fifth more than 100 times.

A “Q” clearance is the Energy Department’s highest classification level, the kind normally reserved for people working on nuclear weapons design, national labs, critical energy infrastructure, and highly classified scientific research. Gates kept that clearance for seven years, starting under President Obama and running through the entirety of the COVID-19 pandemic.

One explanation as to why; Gates founded and chairs TerraPower, the advanced nuclear reactor company that has spent years working alongside DOE national laboratories and won Nuclear Regulatory Commission construction approval in March. A nuclear executive holding a nuclear clearance is not, on its own, a scandal.

But the letter doesn’t mention TerraPower – or why he had it at all. What it does say is that the clearance was granted reciprocally on June 11, 2014 – meaning it originated at another federal agency, and DOE simply honored it – before terminating on December 6, 2021. The letter does not name the agency that vetted him in the first place.

Bill Gates IGNORED Repeated Warnings And Met Epstein THIRTY Times

An independent review has confirmed what many long suspected: Bill Gates and senior figures at his foundation met with Jeffrey Epstein roughly 30 times between 2011 and 2014, brushing aside repeated internal warnings about the reputational and ethical risks of associating with a man already convicted of sex crimes involving a minor.

The findings, released by the Gates Foundation after a months-long external examination by the law firm WilmerHale, show that foundation staff “raised on multiple occasions the risks of associating with Epstein because of his prior conviction,” and that those concerns reached senior leadership, including Gates himself. 

Gates was aware of the reputational issues tied to Epstein’s 2008 conviction and sentencing when the conversations began in 2011. Meetings took place on the foundation’s campus and at Epstein’s Manhattan residence. Interactions centered on potential philanthropy ideas that never materialized and ended by December 2014.

The review found no evidence that the foundation paid Epstein, no evidence of knowledge or participation in his sex-trafficking operations, and no evidence the meetings involved illegal conduct. 

Yet the sheer volume of contact, combined with documented staff alarms that went unheeded, underscores a pattern of elite indifference that has defined the Epstein saga from the start.

Transcript Shows Bill Gates Claim Epstein Issued ‘Veiled’ Threats Over Affairs

Bill Gates told lawmakers in a recent interview that Jeffrey Epstein threatened him subtly over his affairs but did not overtly blackmail him, according to a transcript released on June 23.

Epstein in 2013 “made some veiled references that made me wonder whether he had become aware” of one of the affairs, Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft, told the House of Representatives Oversight Committee on June 10.

Epstein later sent a reimbursement request to Gates, according to Gates. The request was for expenses that Epstein said he paid for one of the women with whom Gates had an affair.

“I viewed it as a tactic to reengage with me,” Gates said. “I’d never asked him to do anything with respect to the person we’re discussing, so I was rather surprised. That was the first time I knew explicitly that he’d become aware of that affair.”

Gates said he directed staff members not to pay Epstein.

Still, Gates maintained that Epstein did not blackmail him.

“He never blackmailed me, but looking at these emails, it raises a serious probability that he contemplated blackmailing me,” Gates said, referring to documents released by the Department of Justice in January.

Gates also said: “He never sent me anything that I would call blackmail. As I’ve said, he made veiled references to things like we should all want to be friends.

“Now that I see the January release of documents, it appears that in many cases he, at least in emails to himself, was sort of rehearsing how either he or he coaching someone else might choose to blackmail me, but none of those messages were ever sent to me.”

Gates had said through a spokesperson in 2023 that Epstein tried to “leverage a past relationship” to threaten him, without providing details.

Epstein, a convicted sex offender, died in federal prison in 2019 while awaiting trial on charges of sex trafficking of minors.

Gates has said he met with Epstein multiple times from 2011 through 2014, and that he ended the relationship in 2014 after concluding that Epstein could not deliver on claims that he could raise billions for global health efforts.

Gates said in his opening statement that he should have never met with Epstein in the first place but that he never witnessed any indication Epstein was involved in criminal conduct.

Under Pressure by Congress, Bill Gates Names the 3 Women He Had Affairs With, and Jeffrey Epstein Tried To Blackmail Him Over – Plus: the Nobel Prize and the Norwegian Connection

It’s not just about the sex.

Two weeks ago, the US House Oversight Committee grilled tech billionaire Bill Gates over his association with late convicted sex offender and suspected human trafficker Jeffrey Epstein – and came out with new information over Gates’ affairs and Epstein’s efforts to blackmail him.

Yesterday, the transcripts of his testimony were released, showing the former richest man in the world named three women he had extramarital affairs with, two of them Russian.

The Telegraph reported:

“The billionaire Microsoft co-founder told the House oversight committee that he had affairs with two Russian women, naming them as Mila Antonova, a bridge player, and Karima Nigmatulina, a nuclear physicist.

Mr. Gates later admitted to a third extramarital affair with another female scientist [Dr Alice Jacobs Nesselrodt] following scrutiny from US congressmen during the hours-long testimony on June 10, a transcript published on Tuesday revealed.”

He continues to deny ever seeing Epstein’s abuse, repeating his line that it was “a mistake to spend time with him”.

He as much as admitted to having confided in a mutual friend of his and Epstein’s that ‘he feared he may have caught a sexually transmitted disease from one of the women’.

“In his closed-door testimony delivered to the US Congress, he suggested that Epstein “contemplated blackmailing me” after learning of his unfaithfulness with the two Russian women.

[…] Mr. Gates, who testified to Congress voluntarily, insisted that while Epstein did not successfully blackmail him about the affairs, ‘it looks like Mr. Epstein’s brainstorming was going in that direction’.”

Viral Influencer: How Bill Gates’ Billions Shape US Medical Research

Bill Gates has long been one of the most admired people in the world, especially since he stepped down from his role running Microsoft to devote himself and much of his fortune to philanthropy. That reputation has been tarnished recently, however, by revelations of the billionaire’s close relation with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and exposes on his own fraught relationships with women.

On the eve of Gates’ private testimony with Congress scheduled for tomorrow, a trove of federal whistleblower documents provided to RealClearInvestigations is renewing questions about how Gates money has bought what critics complain is an untoward influence on government health policy. For almost a quarter of a century, his main vehicle of power, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, has donated hundreds of millions of dollars to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), allowing Gates to shape the direction of the country’s health strategy in ways that have benefitted his own priorities and pet causes while polishing his image as a benevolent global do-gooder.

At a time of growing concern about the power of billionaires such as Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Sam Altman, Gates’ efforts stand out. Instead of lobbying federal agencies for specific policies, Gates leveraged his wealth to work inside the government, partnering with high-ranking NIH officials to steer taxpayer research funding and design scientific policies for several federal programs.

The cache of several dozen emails and documents, made public for the first time by an NIH whistleblower, reinforces previous reports detailing Gates’s extensive influence over U.S. biomedical research. During the height of the COVID pandemic, Kate Elder, a senior vaccines policy adviser for Doctors Without Borders, complained to Politico, “What makes Bill Gates qualified to be giving advice and advising the U.S. government on where they should be putting the tremendous resources?”

Emails and internal plans, for example, show that the NIH – the world’s largest funder of biomedical research – gave the Gates Foundation first billing for the joint workshops and meeting held on federal property.

Dutch Court Orders Bill Gates to Stand Trial Over COVID-19 Vaccine Allegations

Gates, along with Pfizer CEO and Dutch officials, accused of knowingly promoting unsafe vaccines; attempts to evade trial rejected as November 27th hearing approaches.

Dutch courts have officially ordered Bill Gates to stand trial over allegations related to COVID-19 vaccines. Seven plaintiffs who suffered vaccine-related injuries claim that Gates, along with other high-profile figures, deliberately misled the public into receiving injections that they ‘knew or should have known’ were neither safe nor effective.

The lawsuit also names former Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla, and several key figures from the Dutch COVID response team, accusing them of complicity in the deception.

Gates attempted to evade the lawsuit, arguing that his status as a U.S. citizen should shield him from Dutch legal proceedings. However, the court ruled otherwise, stating that Gates’ close involvement with other defendants who are under Dutch jurisdiction made him subject to trial in the Netherlands.

Now, Gates and his legal team are facing mounting pressure as they prepare to confront these serious accusations in court, with the next hearing scheduled for November 27th.
